Across 21 matches, Vermeulen has been one of the most consistently busy forwards in the data set, averaging over eight tackles and six carries per game. His defensive output stands out most — a peak of 21 tackles in a single match points to someone who is regularly asked to do heavy lifting at the breakdown and in open defence. He contributes reliably with ball in hand too, churning out metres at a steady clip rather than relying on explosive individual efforts.
